I think that the IP chapter, both in CETA and here in the U.K., includes the obligations of protection and enforcement. How far we want to go in the future is open for discussion. As we look forward to the consultations for the Canada-U.K. bilateral negotiation, I think that will provide stakeholders and others with all kinds of opportunity for their views. I think it will be an important opportunity for the government to engage on that topic and on others, and I look forward to hearing what others have to say about that.
